Well I agree I wouldn't get that, it would be just be my price for LA (I would actually demand Kempe as per my post, surprised you didn't take exception to that since Kempe > McKeown+2nd IMO). I would also charge teams like Minnesota, SJ, Van more too. It would look pretty bad if LA beat us for the last playoff spot by 1 point with Glenny playing a key role, all so we could add just one B prospect, the 50th overall pick in a weak draft. A pick whose stock has dropped last season and has continued to drop though his miserable draft+1 season. No thanks, we can do a lot better AND not surrender the battle with the kings. That's like something the oilers would do.
You are right though, it looks like Bergy may have helped set the market and a 2nd is likely a best case scenario now. Too bad, the flames seem to always miss the boat on stuff like this. A team like Buffalo cleans up on every single trade (expect the Kane trade, didn't like that for Buffalo) where the flames have seemingly fumbled the ball at every opportunity when it comes to tuning over the old Iginla core. I realize this is before Treliving, but I really want to see something good come of this. If Chris Stewart gets a better, or even comparable return to Glencross, I'm going to punch things.
